A Message From the Founder

When I launched the Hollywood Burlesque Festival our community had exploded and I felt we could be a great host to an international community. Hollywood has a rich history in burlesque and I wanted to share that, I’m proud of the international talent and the locals who came together to make that first festival happen. As we head into our 10th year handing the clipboard and vision to Miss Spent Youth is perfect. I can’t imagine a more qualified and talented individual to take this festival to its next level. I am excited to see what she does and I’ll be in the audience cheering.
